Cobb County Siren #30 - Federal Thunderbolt 1000T

This was the monthly countywide outdoor warning siren test in Cobb County, GA, for the month of November. This siren, a Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1000AT, is located at Marietta Fire Station #6 on Allgood Road in Marietta, and does a 3-minute alert signal alongside the rest of the 74 sirens in the county. Siren is running on a 240V polyphase service (Y-setup), and has its chopper set to terminal 6 in the RCM, rotating at 2RPM.

Also joining me for the test was Jeb (Blue10AEMia), Travis T. (DL1011), and Melissa ("melly"), with Jeb also recording a video of the siren.

@Murrfarms haha yeah! hey, is Milan's p-15 still being used? I'd like to hear that thing again.

[murrfarms]

@trainguy2020 It is indeed, every Saturday at noon. I need to get down there again sometime and record a test with this camera, especially since I haven't even heard it since we installed it about a couple years ago.

haha sounds like a leaf blower! great vid man, wish I could hear it in person. Never heard a thunderbolt in person. Sounds like this one is 3 phase.

@trainguy2020 Good lord, if someone's leaf blower sounds like this, you may want to get that checked out lol. It is three phase, all of Cobb's are actually.

@halcionclouds Sweet! I have a T-bolt in person many times, but I have never heard a 1000T or 1003 in person.
